Split Fee is a platform for UK recruitment agencies to collaborate on permanent placements.
Every agency has candidates they can't place and vacancies they can't fill. Another agency almost certainly has what you need โ but finding them, trusting them, and making the collaboration work has always been the hard part.
Split Fee solves this. Post your candidates and vacancies to the platform. Our matching algorithm finds opportunities across every agency on the network โ by skills, location, salary, and seniority. Candidate and client data stays anonymised until both sides agree to work together. When a placement is made, we handle the fee split and invoicing automatically.
No more posting in social media groups and hoping someone replies. No more sharing candidate details with strangers on trust alone. No more chasing invoices from agencies you barely know.
45% for you. 45% for them. 10% platform fee โ only when a placement is made.
Half of a placement fee is infinitely better than none of it.

Split Fee's answer:
Split Fee is the first purpose-built platform for split fee recruitment in the UK. Instead of relying on LinkedIn groups, WhatsApp messages, and manual agreements, agencies upload their candidates and vacancies and the platform automatically matches them across agencies.
Candidate identities are revealed gradually; anonymised at first, then progressively disclosed as both sides accept, so agencies can collaborate without the risk of circumvention.
Lighthouse VC's answer
Lighthouse replaces your entire VC stack โ sourcing, inbox, CRM, comms, and due diligence โ with a single AI-native platform that requires zero manual data entry and keeps all records automatically enriched. It also activates your team's LinkedIn network to surface the strongest warm intro paths to any founder.
Split Fee's answer:
Most "split fee networks" are just directories or social groups where agencies post and hope someone responds. Split Fee is an actual matching engine. It scores candidate-vacancy pairs, handles the legal agreements (non-circumvention, self-billing), automates invoicing and fee splits, and manages the entire placement lifecycle from match to payment. Everything that normally requires trust, phone calls, and spreadsheets is handled by the platform.
Lighthouse VC's answer
Lighthouse is built for venture capital investors, from solo GPs and angels to full VC funds, who want to scale their deal flow without adding headcount.
Split Fee's answer:
UK recruitment agencies; from boutique firms with a handful of consultants to mid-sized agencies with specialist sector coverage. Any agency that has either strong candidates without the right vacancies, or client vacancies they can't fill from their own candidate pool. Split Fee turns those dormant assets into placements.
Lighthouse VC's answer
Lighthouse was founded by a team in Switzerland frustrated by how fragmented and manual the VC sourcing process was. They built Lighthouse to automate the full investment cycle, so VCs can focus on decisions rather than data entry.
Split Fee's answer:
Abbie, our founder, knew that although split fee arrangements have existed in recruitment for decades, the process has always been manual: find a partner agency, negotiate terms, trust them with your candidate data, chase invoices. Most agencies avoid it because the overhead and risk outweigh the reward. Abbie built Split Fee to remove that friction entirely, with automated matching, progressive identity disclosure, built-in legal agreements, and automated billing, making split placements as straightforward as direct ones.
